    Right wingers generally have a very low understanding of satire and irony (what most circlejerk subs engage in) due to believing in an ideology where everything must be taken at face value

      Like 300 would have been a great movie had it been a satire of Pyrrhic victories. Especially since the society it was portraying was a pretty shitty one.

        300 is, both in universe and in reality, a piece of Spartan war propaganda - and that's pretty interesting to think about at least.

    reddit tends to be right wing so circlejerk subs have the opposite politics of the subs they're jerking

      Eh, I wouldn't really call r/movies right wing. Maybe it's different on per movie basis.

        MCJ is like 80% making fun of star wars and super hero movie subs which are more reactionary than r/movies

    In general right wing dudes are the loudest ones in almost any subreddit, so circlejerk are the other way around.

    The old Chapo users kinda sought refuge when the sub was banned

    Movies Circle Jerk is another one. I think it's because they are focused on making fun of nerds and nerds trend reactionary.

      It was, that’s what made me unsub :agony-turbo:

      Sure it was left wing by reddit standards but still super radlib, probably full of v*ushites by now

          You probably did see it. There's a knee-jerk reaction trying to justify every little thing r/gaming is bitching about.

              Well, opinions on r/gaming change, so r/gcj has to change what it's making fun of. Now it's CDPR, when people were red and nude about EA microtransactions, gamers bitching about loot boxes was a popular target of ridicule on gcj.

                It gets really annoying to browse when the prevailing take on the gaming subs is good. I remember people hating Jason Shreier around the time that last of us 2 came out, simply because he made naughty dog look bad. Since they made a game that gamers freaked out about they are beyond reproach.

              Yeah, you are right, but the sub also tends to jerk itself into saying that you need to be rich to play on PC and a certified professional to assemble one.
